g-map for iPhone

Published on October 6th, 2008 in gps navigation, software


Is this really a GPS navigation application for the iPhone? It is called G-Map and according to specs and features which we’ll share below it sure is but we thought the iPhone SDK did not allow for GPS navigation applications? Any ideas?

Anyways, this applications requires 700MB of space on your iPhone or iPod Touch and it only covers Buffalo, NY/ Cincinnati, OH/ Cleveland, OH/ Columbus, OH/ Nashville, TN/ Pittsburgh, PA/ Rochester, NY/ Boston, MA/ Hartford, CT/ Middlesex, NJ/ Nassau-Suffolk, NY/ New York, NY/ Providence, RI/ Wilmington, DE.

The application is stand-alone so it needs no internet connection or 3G connection. It provides real 3D view of major intersections and highway junctions, provides detailed information on restaurants, hotels with ‘Premium POI’, allows you to edit POI’s, search by phone number and latitude/longitude, and dieal phone number from POI’s.

There’s no information about ‘turn-by-turn directions’ though. It only says you can ‘get directions’. See it for yourself at XRoad’s website. XRoad has been in GPS navigation for a while now.

Thanks kinoppyus.

    can’t find it on the appstore as well… is it still “processing” and “pending approval”?
